Any famous Geocachers out there?

[+Insp Gadget]

Just wondering if there are any famous Geocachers. Celebraties, politicians etc.

[+spotter/g]

besides me....LOL

[+J10fly]

wouldnt surprise me, I did a lot of coast to coast and international traveling with paintball for a long time and met many celebrities that were into that...never would have expected it with that so I'm sure they're here too!

[+Mike and Mitya]

I'm famous in my own mind.

[+HaLiJuSaPa]

I don't remember the forum links but if you do a search you'll learn that Wil Wheaton (played the teen on Star Trek: The Next Generation was a geocacher.

Geocaching is a lot cheaper than paintball, and you don't get lit up as much

[+The Leprechauns]

I would think that Mia Farrow would count for "famous." It was cool to read an interview with her where she talked about geocaching.

 

You don’t know about geocaching? You’ve got to get on board!

That's good stuff, there.

One of the women on the current Survivor (Tracy I think) list geocaching on her profile.

 

I think the drummer from a once popular rock band (was it Motley Crue?) says he's a geocacher.

 

One former frequent participant in these forums , JollybGoode, was a semi famous cartoonist who has

a cult following. Haven't seem him post here in a few years tho.

[+The Leprechauns]

Many of JollyBGood's caches have been archived for lack of maintenance. Perhaps he and Will Wheaton moved over to CelebriCaching.com for privacy reasons. I am not important enough to have an account there, so perhaps BrianSnat would be kind enough to check on that for me.

The Dalai Lama... his caching name is "Carol Channing"...

You are thinking of GroundskeeperWillie. I understand that he is still a very active cacher but he has abandoned this profile.

[Dinoprophet]

I understand one of the VeggieTales DVDs has an Easter Egg of the creators geocaching.

This has come up a lot, but I'm too lazy to do a forum search. I'm positive it was the drummer from Poison, but he only found a handful of caches, and hasn't logged in in years.

 

There was a rather attractive actress from California, who is not only active, but is an FTF hound. I'm sure someone will point that one out.

 

The Veggie tales people only found a couple of caches and haven't logged in in years either.

Isn't she the hot carpenter babe who can hold her breath under water so long?

[+mtn-man]

One that I also think of is Harrald, who was seen in several cameo appearances on the David Letterman show. He worked on the show, and you know that Dave uses some of his workers in skits on the show. One time Harrald came out for one of his bits wearing the 2003 Cache In Trash Out t-shirt. It was very cool. This isn't him, but this is the shirt I am talking about.

It's been rumored that Gary Larson, the Far Side comic writer is a geocacher. Not sure how accurate that is...

[+Peconic Bay Sailors]

Yes... True... but he only does caches with cow themes...

[Mr.Yuck]

Allright, a few hours later, and I couldn't resist doing the forum search.

 

Poisondrummer has found only 7 caches, all in 2005, although he is a premium member, but hasn't logged in within the last year and a half.

 

Smav3719 is the actress who is an active geocacher, and is most famous. That is until someone actually posts a profile for Mia Farrow, which I've never seen in done in these forums, despite persistent rumors.

Homer Hickam, author, cacher, and really nice guy.

[+Too Tall John]

According to a recent post, Chuck Norris geocaches.

When I was in Texas I stopped at a Pro Bass shop to buy some fishing gear with my freind and when I came out this guy was looking at my geocaching sticker on my Jeep. He asked if I was the owner of the jeep and low and behold, it was Chuck Norris! I was like wow, this guy is the coolest idol around. He told me he geocached every now and then, and told me about a micro hidden in the nearby walmart parking lot.

 

He even round house kicked a soda can out of my freinds hand!

 

The geocaching community is awesome.

When Chuck Norris goes geocaching he doesn't lift up the skirt, he just yanks the whole lamppost out of the ground.

[TinyMoon & The Pumpkin King]

Chuck Norris has never logged a DNF because no cache is stupid enough to try hiding from him !

[+Too Tall John]

I googled "Chuck Norris" and "geocaching." One of the results included this unattributed quote:

Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.

Nice, but still not convinced on this end. She could have found less than 10 caches, and long since lost interest like the Poison Drummer, or the Veggie Tales people. Besides, Soon-Yi is much more famous.

That's the first time that I've heard that he's still caching but not using his profile. I really hope he is still caching, since it seemed to be a stress relief for him and great family time.

Oh, I didn't know who Mary Votava was. She sent me a friend request on myspace after I created an account, I assume because I'm a cacher (and she has over 5,000 friends )

Well, Chuck Norris is also an actor. Are you convinced of that story without a profile or an article? At least I provided a source.

[+Peconic Bay Sailors]

I would hope his caching skills are better than his acting skills...

The Vladimir Lenin look-alike Gof1 is correct. There are no TWU groupies, only hata's.

 

Actually Team Lagonda (I thought your name sounded familiar), I'm one of your groupies. I've found one of your caches and I have it bookmarked on my favorites list.

Looks like you're a day late to sign up as a Team Lagonda groupie based on his caches. Please consider becoming a BrianSnat groupie like everyone else does.

Anyone else find it amusing that the reviewers site url is obey.geocaching.com?

My apologies; I corrected the bad link.

I didn't notice the link to her web site until you mentioned the name. Then I see she's from Seattle, then I notice she did one of my caches for her first "5-star". Cool! Hope to see her in something soon.

 

I guess I should save the log book in case she gets really famous.

Oh-oh. Gee, I hope it wasn't something I said. All I did was insult Adam Ant. OK, Snat, I'm now your biggest fan.

For those who didn't follow the link above, or who just saw the list of all archived caches, they were all archived March 1, 08. (Yesterday, as I post this.)

 

Just gotta wonder if everything is ok with Team Lagonda.

 

Hope so.

[+wimseyguy]

I think they just got confused between the significance of April 1 and March 1.

It's happened before.
